I personally find white cars with black rims looks the best.. won't have to clean em as often.

My favourite is a glossy black mesh pattern with a deep chrome lip.

IMO .....white car with black wheels looks mad.....at night, car looks like its floating and the JDM style

But yea....white car with white wheels looks good

i agree that the white rims look good on white cars. ive got more of a pearl, off-white colour to my rims which don't look too bad. something different instead of full white all round anyway.

I vote don't do it! I admit it can look good but a lot look tacky. Personally, I'm not a big fan of body kits and have minimal exterior mods which makes the rims an intergral part of the look of the car.

I like having something to offset the cars colour like with your car, Gold with a polished lip/dish always gets my head turning on R33's.

I wanted 18's on mine in this style of rim because it's wider and has more of a dish to it but I'm happy with the result

Black rims gives a hardcore Jap racer look but it makes it hard to see any detail of the rim which if your spending $ for the street isn't that great. Although painting many nissan factory rims is a very cheap, effective way of getting a menacing look.

My 80c :laughing-smiley-014:

it is an White R33 with a full Nismo 400R body kit and 18 inch Speedy cheetah Style wheels, follow the link to get an idea of what the rims look like..

Look for the rims called CHEETAH....

and also if you think it will look any good..

Beef

Don't like any of them... my two cents... you're looking at the wrong wheels! Good wheels for your car? Anything late model WORK - RAYS - or my personal favorite... SSR Professors (available in white) see attatched.

Seriously... Jap car... Jap wheels

i think white on white looks gay, i have a white r33 and would never get white rims even if they were worth $5000 and i won them in a comp.

with that said i would go for golden/bronze it looks fully sick when car is lowerd a little and some decent tyres.

grey/black would be the next option

I reckon black. White wouldn't look to bad if they were a thinner spoke or something. I had these unique light weight jap wheels that are white. I get ppl saying they love them and others saying i should get chrome or something. I don't really want to get rid of them. I thinki want to get them powder coated

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
